Day 2 of UKIPT London Main Event was filled with excitement because the remaining 323 players were shrunk all the way down to 51 over the process eight one-hour levels. Former heavyweights fell by the wayside, new players moved up the pecking order and a tour favourite became the bubble girl.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy was showing off his guns on the top of the EPT bill for many years now. His focus, patience and skill to get inside opponents' minds have seen him amass greater than $2.6 million in tournament earnings. He used all his skill -mixed in with slightly luck - to surge to the highest of the counts today with 1,399,000, far beyond anyone else.
He used his patience to get into the money after which he took off. He won a large race soon after the bubble burst, made an enormous call with ace-high to bust an opponent after which was lucky to bust another when he made a collection with jacks to crack the kings of a neighbour. From then on it was power poker the entire way.
Other players through to Day 3 are: Antonio Gonzalez (930,000), Alessandro Piekazewicz (886,000), Lukas Peleckis (725,000), Pablo Fernandez (695,000), Nikolas Davies (635,000), David Lichentin (565,000), Lucas Blanco (560,000), Nick Crozer (562,000), Thomas Dunwoodie (549,000), Eric Theissen (489,000), Chris Sly (391,000), Ludovic Geilich (372,000), Gabriel Tuna (361,000), Jason Barton (309,000), Caicai Huang (292,000), Brett Angell (256,000), Gino Levrini (200,000) and Keith Hawkins (183,000).
PokerStars Team SportStar Fatima Moreira De Melo played her fourth ever UKIPT here in London and banked her fourth cash. Her day came to an result in 59th place after her pocket jacks didn't stay prior to Dunwoodie's big-slick, all in pre flop. Her Benelux teammate, Matthias De Meulder also cashed (111th) but two all in showdowns in succession did for him, although he was ahead both times.
Hand for hand play was avoided at the bubble through the second level of the day after Deborah Worley-Roberts - one of the most life and souls of the tour - called all in with two pair at the river just for her opponent to open a whole house and send her on her way. "That's poker!" said the UKIPT Cork finalist before she headed off into the intense lights and noises of this great city.
Many notable names came back but additionally didn't cash. They included: Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Ben Jenkins; Team PokerStars Pro ElkY; former PCA champ Dimitar Danchev; Team PokerStars Online Vicente Delgado; former UKIPT champions Joeri Zandvliet, Max Silver and Jamie Burland; top pro Shannon Shorr and previous November Niner Sylvain Loosli.
